The End of the Line?:Looking Back at Our Year Teaching On the Road

﻿Last August, my husband, 3 year-old daughter, 85-lb lab, and I sold our belongings in Atlanta, GA and set out on the road in our new home- a green school bus. Our mission: to teach free hooping and fire classes across the nation for as long as we could.﻿

﻿Today, a full and glorious year later, it seems the time has come home to roost. "Blue," our valiant 2002 Passat ship orders from the road, and the security of having a backup vehicle. So, for our last hurrah, we all piled into our house-on-wheels (still, thankfully, running strong and true!) for one last, 26 hour voyage to family in Louisiana.﻿

﻿﻿For your 7 years of support to our little family business. But as often happens when one attempts to give, we received more than we could have ever hoped for! We could not have known how much love, hospitality, guidance, and kindness we would receive in return. And we could not be more grateful for it.

We made along the way! At every stop, we felt conflicted about moving on to the next city because you made us feel like family. Thank you for sharing your families, homes, meals, and lives with all of us.

We are equally grateful for the input and guidance we received as hoop-makers. It has proven invaluable to us to meet and speak with you, and learn first-hand what you want from your hoops. You have greatly influenced our hoop designs, product lines, and customer service. We are a better company today because of you.

As a hooping instructor, I feel a personal debt and gratitude beyond measure to each of you who allowed me the honor of dancing with you this past year. I stand in awe of your individuality, courage, and pursuit of self-expression and healing within your hoops. I owe my tremendous growth as a teacher this year to you, who taught me, even when I was under the illusion that I was teaching you.﻿﻿

﻿As a student of hoopdance, it is truly a thing of beauty to behold the artistry of so many different.﻿
